Nepal Flood Live Updates: Toll climbs to 168
Nepal Flash Flood LIVE Updates: At least 168 people have died and more than 1,100 remain missing after a glacial collapse triggered devastating flash floods and mudslides along the Nepal-China border, destroying roads, bridges and settlements and leaving hundreds of foreign travellers unaccounted for.Nepals National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Authority said Thursday that 165 bodies had been recovered from flood-affected areas near the Bhotekoshi river at the Nepal-China border. Identification of the victims was under way.Also read: Nepal flash floods: List of nationalities of missing touristsChinas Xinhua News Agency reported three deaths and 558 missing people in Tibet after mudslides struck Gyirong county. Chinese state broadcaster CCTV said 260 of those reported missing in Tibet were foreigners and that two villagers had been rescued.Glacial collapse triggered sudden flood surgeNepals disaster management authorities separately said 579 travellersincluding 466 foreigners and 113 Nepaliswere missing from the affected area. The combined figure of more than 1,100 reported missing people reflects separate updates from Nepal and Tibet and may include figures that authorities are still working to reconcile.The disaster struck on Wednesday after an ice-and-rock mass collapsed in the Himalayas, sending a sudden surge of water and debris down the Lhende Khola river system. The flood swept through communities in Nepals Rasuwa district and affected Tibets Gyirong county near the border.Videos and drone footage showed muddy floodwaters washing away roads and bridges, burying vehicles and damaging buildings. Nepals Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Authority said as many as 80 bridges and 40 kilometres of paved highway had been damaged or swept away.At least 83 security personnel, including members of the police and armed forces, were also reported missing in Nepal. Hundreds of people have been rescued by helicopter, although damaged infrastructure, difficult terrain and widespread debris have slowed relief operations.The United States Geological Survey initially reported a magnitude 4.4 earthquake near Kathmandu but later revised its assessment, saying the seismic event was caused by a glacial collapse and debris flow rather than an earthquake.The USGS said the collapse triggered subsequent catastrophic impacts downstream. Climate experts at the International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development said an avalanche from a glacier likely caused the flash flood.Water levels in the Trishuli river rose by as much as nine metres within half an hour, the experts said.Also read: Nepal floods: 37 from Tamil Nadu, 32 from West Bengal, 77 Isha Foundation members among those missingIndia places Bihar and Uttar Pradesh on alertIndia has placed Bihar and Uttar Pradesh on alert for possible flash flooding.

Debris was left hanging from tree branches and power lines, while vehicles were buried under sediment.Rescue teams have been working to reach communities cut off by damaged roads and bridges. The United Nations, Red Cross and other organisations are coordinating humanitarian assistance.In Tibet, Chinese President Xi Jinping called for an all-out rescue effort. Xinhua reported that a Y-20 transport aircraft from the Western Theater Command Air Force was carrying a guidance team to help organise rescue operations in Gyirong county.A recurring Himalayan dangerThe Lhende Khola river system has flooded twice in 14 months. Last year, a glacial lake in Tibet overflowed after high temperatures, killing nine people and damaging critical infrastructure, including a bridge connecting Nepal and China.The Lhende Khola has flooded twice in 14 months, this time triggered by an ice rock avalanche from a glacier on the Nepal side that blocked the river and released a sudden surge downstream, said Saswata Sanyal, a disaster risk reduction specialist.He stressed the importance of early-warning systems in a warming Himalaya.Researchers have found that glaciers across the Hindu Kush Himalaya are melting faster, with ice loss rates doubling since 2000. Experts warn that rising temperatures, intense monsoons and unstable ice formations could make similar disasters more frequent across South Asia.What happenedA glacial collapse sent ice, rocks and debris into the Lhende Khola river system.The resulting flash flood swept through parts of Nepals Rasuwa district and Tibets Gyirong county.The USGS later ruled out an earthquake as the cause.Experts said the flood wave reached exceptional speed and magnitude.Casualties and missing personsNepal has recovered 165 bodies, with identification under way.Tibet has reported three deaths and 558 missing people.Nepal has reported 579 missing travellers, including 466 foreigners and 113 Nepalis.More than 1,100 people are reported missing across the two affected areas, although the figures remain subject to verification.At least 83 Nepalese security personnel are among those reported missing.Foreign nationals affectedNepalese tourism officials earlier said 133 Indians travelling on pilgrimage to Mount Kailash were missing. The list also included 47 Americans, 34 Australians, 33 Britons and 24 Canadians.The US State Department said it was working with local authorities to assist affected Americans and providing $500,000 in emergency funding, according to the Bloomberg report.Australia said it was coordinating with Nepal, the United Nations, the Red Cross and other organisations on a humanitarian response.The Himalayan range contains some of the worlds largest remaining glaciers and supplies water to millions of people. Its steep valleys are also vital transport and economic corridors but remain highly vulnerable to flash floods, landslides and glacial lake outbursts.The latest disaster has renewed concerns over the safety of communities and infrastructure across a rapidly warming Himalayan region.

Walking Style, Body Language Show Everything Inside UPW Chief Scout Davids Philosophy
Inside UP Warriorz: Long before the first ball of the 2027 Womens Premier League (WPL), Neetu David is already at work from the edge of the boundary ropes, watching the subtle mechanics of a player simply walking across the field. For the former India left-arm spinner, who spent five years as chief selector and signed off from her tenure by selecting the 2025 ODI World Cup-winning team, a cricketers stride reveals far more to her than any conventional stat sheet. Now taking on the role of chief scout for WPL franchise UP Warriorz, Neetu brings her uniquely intuitive barometer to the high-stakes world of franchise cricket and the scouting universe. I can't speak for what others do. But in terms of my process, what I like to see and what I think, according to me, is that the walking style of the players tells how the player will be. I tend to understand a player based on how their walking style is -- whether it is very agile or slow or very mentally tough. Seeing that helps me gain the initial understanding, and when I go to watch a match, I like to go before the match so that I can see how the players are doing their respective work in the outfield, and I focus a lot on it. Yes, because it makes a lot of difference to see the player in a match and what she is doing before playing that game. I also see her body language before and after the match. It shows you a lot of things, and this is my personal view, Neetu told IANS in an exclusive interview on Wednesday. That sharp eye for hidden potential has already given a lot of players to the national side, especially after WPL began in 2023. There are a lot of players we see and think that they are not ready. But they are ready for the challenge. When Kranti Gaud came, she didn't know anything. But today she is a star. When Sree Charani came, she didn't know anything. We used to think, what will she play? But when you watch her bowling, you will feel that this girl is very different. There are a lot of things that we don't understand. But when we set up a camp, we understand that we have chosen the right player. Like, this is the right player, and she will go ahead, adds Neetu. Her entry to the UPW set-up is an interesting tale - exhausted after wrapping up an assignment with the Bihar team, Neetu initially sought time off before a persuasive call from a trusted person in her circle sealed the deal. Kshemal (Waingankar, COO) ji called me and asked me if I was interested or not. So, I told him to give me two days' time because my Bihar assignment was just over and I was not getting time for myself. So, I gave him this answer directly because I did not know what the system was. But after two days, I called and discussed with my senior, who is very important to me, and the reply which came was, Aap immediately haan bol do as ek toh yeh aapki apni franchise hai (You immediately say yes to it as first of all, it is your franchise). Then I called Kshemal ji and told him that, I am okay, I am in. Moving from tracking state age-group tournaments to see who can go to U19 and senior Indian teams to observing various leagues has presented a sharp learning curve even for an ICC Hall of Famer like Neetu, who knows the best of all the worlds. There is a lot of difference, as in the domestic circuit, you do know how your players are because you have been watching them since the U-15s. Here, the role is a little different because you have to follow international cricket, and all the leagues, tournaments, or whatever is going on right now in India and overseas. You have to follow everything right now, and for me, it is a little bit of a new thing, and the support staff of UP Warriorz has helped me a lot. I am trying to get more into this thing, and I am seeing that there are a lot of difficulties, but I am also enjoying it a lot, and its very interesting too, she said. Despite the variance in international team selection and assembling a franchise T20 team, Neetu maintains that there are still some similarities. I feel that both are equal in a lot of ways. In the domestic and international cricket circuits I have seen and experienced so far, there are a lot of age groups, and there are a lot of tournaments. So, you have to focus a lot on the performance of each state and each kid and see their performance and data very carefully. When you go to internationals, it is the same, and there are not a lot of difficulties because there is not a lot of junior-level cricket. So, I don't think there is a lot of difference in that, she added. The primary puzzle for UPW, a side yet to win the WPL and wooden spooners in the last two seasons, to solve is also identifying players capable of carrying the mental burden of franchise cricket. For that, we have to see a lot of things because right now, while looking for players for India, there were difficulties. I won't say that there weren't any. But here, I have to think about a lot of things. Like there are international cricketers and our national cricketers, and considering that, we have to think a lot about whether this player will be able to play at that level or not. Will she be able to handle the pressure or not? This is a bit of a big challenge for us. Yet, Neetu remains optimistic about the upward trajectory of the Indian talent pool since WPLs inception. Its been very good. Earlier, we had very few bench strength players. But now you will have so many players who can go to play for India. We think that because of the injuries, we are not getting many players. But now you will have a backup of every player in every side in the coming years, she added.
